The Hidden Lore of The Sims 4: My Wedding Stories

[@KimberlyRatliff]

Did you get the Bonehilda reference? "Your calcium-rich sister" (bones = calcium) implies that Temperance, the evil spirit from Paranormal Stuff, and Bonehilda are sisters. Maybe she is so evil and angry because Guidry loved Bonehilda instead of her?

[@daphnia9664]

omggg

[@JhinJhin365]

Omg. In order to get rid of Temperance you can summon Bonehilda and they’ll fight. THATS WHY

Are we not mentioning that the grandma in that families last name is Thebe and that is Princess Cordelia’s last name. Girl we have an ancestor.

[@bebelc2l]

Thebe is also the original surname of Sims 2’s Consort Capp. He adopted his wife’s surname, but according to wiki, his parents were Hector and Andromache Thebe. Princess Cordelia is an antecessor of the Capps!

Cordelia was the princess of House THEBE. So they insinuate that she had at least 1 son with a pirate and the Laurent family are Cordelia's descendents! 😁

[@juliasenekowitsch5899]

Matilda might be Princess Cordelia's cook who is also in her household and John that died could be Long John Buttercups.

[@luizamarangoni8200]

Bonehilda is Temperance's sister! calcium rich sister -> bones have lots of calcium. that explains why Temperance is agry all the time and has beef with Bonehilda and Guildry!

[@slothbearsrule1564]

Have you covered the law of the treasure from Sulani? The collectibles tell a story.

[@juliasenekowitsch5899]

Also the lot of the Laurent family is called "Thebe Estate" and if I'm correct Princess Cordelia is of the royal house of Thebe.

[@junerussell6972]

Supposedly, one of the original wedding couple is a historian. Similar to Henford on Bagley, you can talk to her about the lore. I don't know if the "software not final" has that in it (similar to how the sand is not yet set up.)

[@morgankandrac6808]

Also! Lady Matilda of Tartosa is probably Princess Cordelia's chef - Matilda the Cook. In the letter she writes about being in love with someone who sees her as a dear friend. I think Matilda the Cook was in love with Princess Cordelia. Also 'John' could very well be Long John Buttercups - Princess Cordelia's first pirate boyfriend?

[@MadRayne]

I was wondering where I recognized the last name "Thebe" from The Capp family from the Veronaville ancestors has the last name Thebe. Consort's grandmother is Queen Thebe :eyes:

[@enigmaoffc3148]

Cordelia's surname is Thebe. Consort's father is named Hector. Arnessa's son is Hector. Maybe Arnessa is Consort's sister and she named her son after her father?!

sry i know u wrote this a year ago but i literally can't find anyone else who's talked about this. Not only that but there IS a Cordelia Capp who is Consorts youngest, dead daughter which is crazy!

The letter signed off by Lu is written by Lucia Markovic, who was in a relationship with Hector Laurent but then he dipped for Hilary Laurent. The letter written by Jace is Jace Laurent, and he is friends with Tomi Markovic (Lucia Markovic's daughter).

[@azramakino366]

One of those has to have a hint for the upcoming pack. Probably the one that no one can figure out. Edit: Poem with FJ signed on it matches initials of a flower shop guy from this pack, who is described as 'poetic hopeless romantic'. That's one mystery solved.

It'd be so cool to be able to have your sim write their own confession in a bottle. Have the option to create your own custom message or have it based on what your sim is currently feeling and see what it says. Hearing the family drama has enticed me to check out that family, but it's too bad so much lore is confined to bottles. I hope a lot more lore is on the way. 🤞
